Assessment of the safety and efficacy of intramuscular (IM) administration of a recombinant adenoassociated virus (rAAV) alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) vector (rAAV1-CB-hAAT) in AAT-deficient adults at three dosage levels \[6.0 × 10e11, 1.9 × 10e12 and 6.0 × 10e12 vector genome particles (vg) per kg body weight\].

The study is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-center, sequential, three-arm, Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of administration of a rAAV1-CB-hAAT vector administered by IM injection. Each participant will receive rAAV1-CB-hAAT on a single occasion. Three groups of three subjects each will receive rAAV1-CB-hAAT at dosage levels of 6 x 10e11 vg/kg, 1.9 x 10e12 vg/kg or 6 x 10e12 vg/kg by IM injection. Subjects in group 1 will receive a total of 10 IM injections distributed across a single muscle site, subjects in group 2 will receive a total of 32 IM injections distributed across three muscle sites, and subjects in group 3 will receive 100 IM injections distributed across 10 muscle sites. Each injection will be given in a volume of 1.35 mL, at the appropriate vector concentration to achieve the desired total vector dose. The three groups were enrolled sequentially, with review of safety data by a Data and Safety Monitoring Board before enrollment of each higher dosage level group. Safety was monitored by evaluation of adverse events, hematology and clinical chemistry parameters, histological examination of muscle biopsies, and measurement of serum antibodies to AAT. Efficacy was measured by evaluation of serum concentrations of M-specific AAT and total AAT, and serum AAT phenotype determined on isoelectric focusing gels. Additional information collected included presence of the vector in blood or semen, changes in serum anti-AAV antibody titers, and changes in T cell responses to AAV and AAT.

Frequency of Grade 3 or 4 Adverse Events
Time frame: During 1 year after study agent administration
Changes in Serum M-specific Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Concentration
Results are the mean ± SD for pre-treatment (Screening and Baseline) and Months 6-12 values and mean ± SE for the difference between the pre-treatment and months 6-12 means for 2 subjects in the low dose group and 3 subjects in each of the other two groups. The monoclonal antibody used to determine serum M-specific AAT concentrations has very little cross-reactivity with Z type AAT but cross-reacts strongly with S type AAT, causing results for this assay to be spuriously high for subject 303 in the low dose group.
Time frame: During months 6-12 after study agent adminsitration
Changes in Serum Total Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Concentrations
Results are the mean ± SD for pre-treatment (Screening and Baseline) and Months 6-12 data and mean ± SE for the difference between the pre-treatment and months 6-12 means for 3 subjects per group.
Time frame: During months 6-12 after study agent adminstration
